Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Deep Ruby with aromas of jammy fruit, pepper and toasty cedar. On the palate flavors of black currant, jammy blackberry and pepper, vivid acidity with fine grainy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, pepper spice, oak and earthy character. Nice. — 9 months ago

The flavor profile is kind of like Cab Franc, with notes of dehydrated strawberry (like Special K red berries), mushroom, and a kiss of oak. Medium bodied. Wonderful acid, and still had some tannins. — 5 years ago

Absolutely wonderful. Nice vanilla bourbon on the nose. A gentle and easy sip while still feeling aged. Fruity as well. So wonderful. Great with Unami & Dijon Turkey burgers! — 6 years ago

Very tasty. Sweet roses, vanilla, baked bread, and very ripe red fruit. I’d drink this daily...as long as it pairs well to food. I’m curious how this will develop with age. — 6 years ago

This Rioja blend needs to be open a long time before consuming. Once it settles down, it is a great wine. So complex and rich. Definite fruity Grenache notes mix with deep Tempranillo. A great wine. — 4 years ago

9.1

Nicely made and exuding character. Nose has bright, deep plummy fruit, along with nice, fragrant spice and a wisp of smoke. Mouthfilling, pure fruit on the palate, with a light touch, finish turns savory and shows lots of stony minerality. Nice acids and a bit of soft, chalky tannin comes out at the end. Terrific value. — 5 years ago

Smokey chicken on the Green Egg and a 10yr old Rioja. This wine is big; everywhere. It needs time. But I’m 10 years it will be a-mazing. Terrific now. — 6 years ago
